Some of the notable moments CNN's Jim Acosta and the White House have clashed

While taking questions from the press after his meetings at the United Nations General Assembly, CNN reporter Jim Acosta asked the president to answer questions from female journalists about Brett Kavanaugh.

Hours later, the White House announced that Acosta is losing his press credentials.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders announced the move Wednesday evening, explaining it was a result of both Acosta's behavior and him yanking back when a White House employee tried to his microphone.

This wasn't the first time Trump and White House officials clashed with Acosta, whose network is a frequent target of "fake news" attacks from the administration. Here's a brief history of other times the reporter and the White House have butted heads.

Sanders won't say if press is 'enemy of the people' so Acosta walks out

Acosta's question came after Trump's daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump said she does not believe the press is the enemy of the people.

Sanders wouldn't answer the question directly during the August news conference, and said the media went after her personally. "As far as I know I'm the first press secretary in the history of the United States who has required Secret Service protection," Sanders said.

Acosta walked out of the conference and tweeted, "I am totally saddened by what just happened."

I walked out of the end of that briefing because I am totally saddened by what just happened. Sarah Sanders was repeatedly given a chance to say the press is not the enemy and she wouldn't do it. Shameful.

"What about the DACA kids? Should they worry about what's going to happen to them?" Acosta shouted, per pool reports.

President Trump replied that Democrats had "let them down," but didn't reply to a follow-up question.

Trump's campaign manager, Brad Parscale, criticized Acosta for the exchange, to which Acosta replied, "Just doing my job ... which is protected by the First Amendment of The Constitution."

'I like real news. Not fake news. You're fake news'

Acosta pressed Trump during a brief exchange in the wake of the deadly Charlottesville attack. Acosta wanted Trump to hold a fuller news conference after the attack (a day later, he held one in Trump Tower), but Trump said he had just held a conference (he merely made some remarks and signed a memorandum on Chinese trade practices).

Miller says Acosta has 'cosmopolitan bias to a shocking degree'

Acosta brought up a poem on the Statue of Liberty and then asked if the White House was trying to change what it means to be an immigrant.

Miller at one point asked, "Do you seriously at CNN not know the difference between green card policy and illegal immigration?"

At that point, Acosta pointed out that he is the son of a Cuban immigrant.

Later, Miller said Acosta was showing his "cosmopolitan bias to a shocking degree."

When asked to clarify new Trump's take on immigration reform, White House adviser Stephen Miller told CNN's Jim Acosta, a first-generation Cuban American, that his question was "outrageous, insulting, and foolish."
